ECF: Boston Bruins (A2) vs. Carolina Hurricanes (WC1) — BRUINS WIN SERIES 4-0

[Itse]

I'm cheering for the Jerks, but I'm thinking the Bruins take this. They look like the next champion to me.

[btimbit]

I'll be cheering for the Bruins, but won't be too upset of the Canes win either

[ForeverFlameFan]

Would be pretty neat if the Canes won the cup with RB as head coach in his first year.

Where do you rank the hate for the 1994 Canucks?

Go Canes!

Lets hope Boston finishes them quick before Don Cherry gifts them another million or so dollars in free marketing and merchandise.

I think Boston has the definite edge in net and a slight edge up front. Carolina's defense is better however. I feel like the clock strikes midnight on the Hurricanes run against the Bruins, but these playoffs have been a weird beast and it would be nice to see Dougie and Ferland win. My guess is Bruins in 6 though.

[CSharp]

Canes in 5! Hope Ferland can be back in the lineup for some hard hitting action!

[Locke]

Bruins in 7. I think this one is going to go the distance but the 'Canes just dont have the gas left in the tank.

Game one of this series will be on Thursday at 1800h on Sportsnet, CBC, NBCSN, and TVA Sports.

[mikephoen]

So far the NHL has nailed the scheduling for the playoffs. Starting this series on Thursday is great! No days without a game so far.

good... clear as day to anyone watching the replay.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

1 game is way too light, as per usual.

[Zoller]

Islanders swept Pens
Canes swept Islanders

Bruins will sweep Canes

Who sweeps Bruins?

What makes you think that? They've had 5 days off in between series.

Canes in 7.

[TheScorpion]

If Boston gets hit with enough injuries, this series could become McElhinney vs. Stempniak.

Either way, though, a bunch of jerks is winning this series...

Hit by a truck?
